February is Black History Month.

Carver's discoveries with plantings of peanuts, sweet potato, and soy beans changed the southern crop industry.

His ideas influenced farmers both here at home and countries abroad for many years. Carver was a man of strong religious beliefs and of great tenacity.

In his interpretation of Carver, Henley discusses how to achieve success in faith and brings out the strong will and determination of Carver.
